Rolling Stones Return to China, Setlist Censored by Chinese Government

The Rolling Stones recently played their first show in China in seven years. And, as NME notes, the performance was subject to censorship by the Chinese Ministry of Culture.

Similar restrictions were placed on the band when they played their debut show in the country in 2006. This time around, the Chinese Ministry of Culture told Mick, Keith et al. That two of their signature songs, "Brown Sugar" and "Honky Tonk Woman" were off limits.

The full set list for the band's March 12th performance at the Shanghai Mercedes-Benz Arena was as follows:

I guess they just don't want sex-driven songs played... Or at least the only ones they can tell are about ladies. I mean, who cares why he's not "satisfied," we've got to protect the people from mentions of Brown Women!
